A 2.4GHz R/C system is the way to go.

There are brands available locally such as:

- Spektrum - DX3R and DX3S and maybe some DX2's as well
- JR Propo DSX3
- Futaba 2.4 GHz 2PL
- Futaba 4PK

They can be found in the LHSs..

Question regarding your TX, what ESC are you using?
Does it have reverse? Maybe the throttle is set improperly.

What did you mean with "not responding"?

3PK has also a separate 2,4 GHz module.
With the current one, did you check the transmitter and connect it with different receiver/ESC/servo?
What about the hi-point/end point setting of the transmitter for the throttle?

I think Spektrum is a good value for money 2,4 GHz transmitter.

Thanks for the fast reply

My ESC is Yeah Racing with reverse, I've set it up and all are working fine, but after a week of use suddenly the throttle is not functioning and not registering in the LCD, but the streering is working fine, both forward and breaking are not responding.
I have check with other receiver/ESC/servo it's also not working, I think this is a 3PK problem

Thanks

Just for sure, check it with other transmitter as well.
However, judging by your comment on the LCD registration, it sounds like the transmitter is causing this problem.

Try to reverse the connection on the receiver.
Insert the steering connector into the throttle and vice versa.

When you hit the throttle, the steering servo should be activated.
If not, then the transmitter is failing.

I've tried reversing it, when I hit the throttle still noting happen, when I use the steering the motor turns, I think this is really a transmitter problem cry

Thanks a lot
